Question
Chapter 14.1, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The value of reduction potential (E°) in case of pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Introduction:
The propensity of the compound to gain electrons and get reduced is known as reduction potential or redox potential. The value of reduction potential is measured in volts and millivolts, and each species has its unique redox potential. The standard reduction potential is the constant or the standard value of the reduction potential.

- Potassium permanganate solutions used in oxidation-reduction titrations are sometimes standardized against Fe²⁺ ion. The reaction involved is 8H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5Fe²⁺(aq) → 5Fe³⁺(aq) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 4H₂O(l). A convenient source for Fe²⁺ ion is ammonium iron(II) sulfate, (NH₄)₂Fe(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₆ (FW = 392.14), also known as Mohr's salt, which is readily crystallized, and the crystals resist oxidation by air. A 0.6735 g sample of Mohr's salt is dissolved in 100 mL of acid solution, and the permanganate solution is added slowly from a buret. The endpoint is reached when 17.86 mL of the permanganate solution has been added. Calculate [MnO₄⁻], the molar concentration of the permanganate solution.
